I don’t remember what meteorite the first image is from I’ll check and add it here in a little bit.
I got the 3 nickel irons from a school that was getting rid of them and bought the palletise because I thought it was cool.
I am going to be taking a lot of pictures for a study I’m doing on the cause of colouration in speleothems and part of that is taking a lot of pictures in a way that is replicable so I need a standard object for color.
I looked at the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport but I do not have that much money to spend, and I saw some cheaper ones online.
Dose anyone have any recommendations on what to use?
Thought this was kinda funny so I figured I’d share, have any of yall ever made something similar?
It has a hardness of 4, does not fluoresce under 365, 310, or 255 nanometer UV. I unfortunately don’t know the location as it is from an old geologists collection and he did not label anything.
It looks like a fluorite seems to have the right cleavage planes for it but I have never seen one in this color and I can’t tell what the actual habit is as it seems to be broken from a much lager peace.
Thank you for any help.
